One of the most highly-anticipated movies of the year, “Dune,” is set to be released in October 2021. Naturally, the cast of the science fiction film has started making promotional rounds and attracting attention.
One of the things attracting attention? Film star and American heartthrob Timothée Chalamet’s height.

Fans started wondering how tall Timothée is after seeing the results of photoshoots conducted with co-star Zendaya.
The “One & Two” actor claims to be 5′ 10″ (177.8 cm). Is that truly the case?
So, How Tall Is Timothée Chalamet?
The photoshoot that sparked the entire controversy was conducted by Entertainment Weekly, and featured both Zendaya and Timothée posing together.
While both Timothée and Zendaya claim to be the same height — 5’10” — Zendaya appeared several inches shorter than Timothée in the photo. To further complicate things, Zendaya wasn’t wearing shoes for the photoshoot.

Timothée’s IMDb biography lists the actor’s height at 5’10” (1.78m), while other online sources vary — some claim the actor is as short as 5’9”, and some claim he is as tall as 6’1”.
The famed actor claims to be the same height as Zendaya and Megan Thee Stallion despite the image that this Dune photoshoot portrays.
To further complicate things — photos from the “Dune” special screening make it appear as though Timothée is the same height as a high-heel-clad Zendaya.

After both the “Dune” screening and Entertainment Weekly photoshoot, fans took to social media to discuss the height differences. Some claimed that Timothée is several inches taller than Zendaya.
On the other hand, some argued that Timothée was wearing elevator shoes to give him an extra couple of inches of height, bringing him level with Zendaya while she was wearing heels.

Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Tom Holland
While Timothée’s definite height remains in question, the fact that Timothée is taller than Zendaya’s “Spiderman” boyfriend, Tom Holland, is without a doubt.
Tom is roughly two inches shorter than Zendaya.
Zendaya and Tom have admitted how difficult their height difference sometimes makes filming — especially within “Spiderman” action landing shots in which Zendaya’s feet appear to reach the ground before Tom’s.

Zendaya’s love of high heels definitely doesn’t help. The former Disney star often wears platforms and stilettos to red carpet events, which makes her appear much taller than any of her co-stars, regardless of the actual height differences.
Regardless, Zendaya and Tom don’t seem too bothered by the fact that Zendaya is taller than Tom. Their on-screen and off-screen chemistry seems to more than make up for the height difference!
Megan Thee Stallion vs. Timothée Chalamet
Given that Timothée is roughly the same age and height as American rapper Megan Thee Stallion, fans on Twitter have also started comparing the stature of both entertainers.

While we don’t have any photos of Megan and Timothée together to compare, we’re sure we’re not the only ones hoping that the two feed the hype by taking a photo together soon.
